Canine Utopia
(Small stone #17*)

She thinks that everyone wants to pet her dog,
That all dogs want to be friends,
That no dog would ever try to bite her.
It hate that I have to shatter those innocent paradigms.

Shipping Out
(Small stone #16*)

Pills for motion sickness – check
A cross that they won’t take away – check
Last minute advice – check
A good hug – check
A heart-felt “I love you” – check
Seeing my oldest daughter as a child for the last time - check

A Little Break

Holiday
(Small stone #15*)

School is out for the day.
All the kids come out to play.

We really wish that they could stay.
Tomorrow they will be locked away.

Ticket To Ride

The Screaming Tunnel

(Small stone #14*)

The train ride is peaceful.
People smile and wave.

We enter the dark tunnel.
There is a heavy smell of fuel.
The children are screaming.
Sometimes joy sounds like terror.

Beautiful Weather

The Farm Grill
(Small stone #13*)

Three bees hanging out on the soda fountain, sipping root beer.
A black lab gets tangled up in his own leash.
My daughter is climbing citrus trees with the boys.
The fries were especially tasty today.

(Small stone #12*)

"Dad. Little Bear has no TV. Is that weird or what?"
